{"product_id":"let-the-birds-drink-in-peace-9780971367821","title":"Let the Birds Drink in Peace","description":"Pushcart Prize winner Robert Garner McBrearty's stories are inhabited by a range of characters and settings, but what they have in common is an inherent curiosity about the world and how each character can find his own place in it. Whether he's a budding writer, fading professor, reluctant gunslinger, or worried older brother, McBrearty's characters are concerned with essential questions about how to reconcile outside forces against desire. No matter what the situation, empathy is front and center in this thoughtful collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Garner McBrearty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bower House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780971367821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Garner McBrearty's stories have been anthologized in the Pushcart Prize and widely published in leading literary journals, including \u003ci\u003eNorth American Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMissouri Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew England Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNarrative Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStoryQuarterly\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMississippi Review\u003c\/i\u003e.
